Bilstein PSS10's, much better design (monotube) and much easier to alter the set-up compared to the V3's. :happy2:

I have V3 myself, but want the PSS10 instead

you cant all truly believe that a guy who drives on the motoray 400 miles a week, and does only 2 track days a year needs coilovers.
a good set of bilstein B12 dampers matched to some lowering springs will easily be all he requires. and save him a considerable amount of money. that way he gets much improved cornering performance, and above stock comfort, something you dont get with coilovers.
if your not doing alot of track days you really do not need coilovers unless your after dropping the suspension really low. i had coilovers myself and also do alot of track days, however id probably not do them again, as the trade off for normal driving isnt worth it i comparison to good dampers/spring combo

Hence the reason I bought the B12 kit myself. :happy2:
Coilovers are overhyped with the only benefit being that you can set the ride height to change the look of the car, no real handling or performance gains to be had on an every day car.

this is what im trying to get at it. people say the want to lower a car so everyone says coilovers immediately, and there is no need for it.
same as if someone wants to go stage 2, so loads of people chirp in saying they need a full TBE..which you dont, a downpipe will suffice. both of the above could potentially waste £500 more than needed. i
